- --- ModInfo v1.3 ---

-
-
- This file is a part of the REGISTERED VERSION of Pro-Wizard 2 !
-
- It only works with OS 2.0+, as well as Pro-Wizard !

- Short doc:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- ModInfo is a little tool whose job is to display all informations about
- a Protracker module, like the MODINFO function in FileMaster, you see ?
-
- I decided to write this because this function is missing in DOpus.
-
-
- You can run it from CLI/SHELL, by typing :
-
- ModInfo <file> ; only protracker modules of course...
-
-
- Or, for a better use, you can include it in one of your BUTTONS in DOPUS...
- Just create the button, and enter this in the command line :
-
- ModInfo {f} ; ModInfo must be in a directory known by
- ; your PATH: (i.e 'C:' or 'Bin:')
-
- And, also specify "AmigaDOS".
-
- Don't forget the flags "Do all files" and "Output to file" !
-
-
- Then, you'll be able to display the module_info of each module converted
- by Pro-Wizard-2, the song name, each sample length, vol, repeat & replen,
- and the number of patterns & positions in the song.

-
- New in v1.3 :
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- You can remove ModInfo from the list of xData-Clients !!
- Now, ModInfo makes use of XPKmaster.library to do its work, but there is a
- new improvement again : it doesn't decrunch the whole module anymore !! :)
-
- It uses the XpkRead() function, to unpack the beginning of the module ONLY,
- so that users with low memory will be able, now, to make some ModInfos on
- very large xPacked modules, as over 1meg and more... Are you happy ? ;)
-
- Second advantage : it's obviously VERY FASTER now ! No need to wait for
- the whole file to be decrunched.
-
-
- Special:
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- As it seems that more and more modules use samples with a length
- higher than $FFFF (65535), I have been forced to modify my Protracker
- check-routines to make them recognize these modules...
-
- (Although you CAN'T do this within Protracker itself, anyway, it accepts
- to play such modules but refuses to load/edit samples larger than 64kb !).
-
-
-
-
-
-
- New in v1.2 :
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- It now checks your kickstart, and correctly reads the given parameter ;)
-
- Add: It also displays the Patterns Length,
- Samples Length,
- & the Total Module Length.
